[h=2]Our interview with Smoking Gun Interactive's co-founder about the upcoming Age of Empires game made for touchscreens[/h]Microsoft will offer Windows Phone owners not one but two new games based on their Age of Empires strategy franchise this fall. In addition to the previously announced Age of Empires: World Domination game from developer KLab, the company announced last week plans to release Age of Empires: Castle Siege for Windows Phone and Windows 8.1 sometime in September.
